Exactly. Rules can’t protect you from a bad referee. That thought has got to be some kind of gamer meme or urban legend.

Man. A special edition with some Brom art? Damn. I might have to pick that up.

Mostly, yeah. Take Superman as the big counter example. He was already an adult in his first appearance in 1938 and all he's got is strength, invulnerability, speed, and can jump 1/8 of a mile. In 1939 he gets x-ray vision and super hearing. In 1940 telescopic vision, microscopic vision, and...

Advancement is superhero fiction is so weird. Sometimes there’s an obvious skill or power increase over time while sometimes there’s nothing for years or decades, then a massive leap ahead. Or the perennial favorite of complete power swaps. It just doesn’t map to standard RPG expectations of...

Wow. What luxury. I think I’ll pass on the game entirely. How tone deaf.

Such a weird Kickstarter. I’ll wait for the final release and see what they’re charging then.

I was working in a comic shop in the mid-to-late 90s. All the Liefeld art, reboots, character deaths and resurrections, revamps, issue #1s, etc. It was a terrible time to be a comics fan. I still think June 4, 1991 was the end of an age in comics. The last Uncanny X-Men written by Chris...

I had not heard about this one. Thanks. Yeah, Jack’s great. Any idea on the system? Osprey has been hit or miss. Love Russell’s two and a few others, but I almost boycotted Osprey for publishing the RPGPundit’s publisher.

I have two of his. Europe's Tragedy about the 30-Years War along with Blood and Iron about the German-speaking world. I've only partially read the first. Still haven't managed to get around to the second.

BBB was an amazing series. It was definitely more Silver Age and Adam West. I absolutely love that show. Feature sone endlessly quotable lines and has some of my favorite DC characters, like Plastic Man. Still don’t know if I’d say it’s better than TAS.

Shock: Social Science Fiction.

George Carlin did a bit about driving. Anyone going faster than you is a maniac and anyone going slower than you is an idiot. The same applies to cynicism

That’s epic of Ryoku’s to do that. It’s a terrible position to be in all around. Makes me want to support them in whatever they do going forward. “That means if tariffs rise, we won't be able to pay them; we'll be forced to delay. If the content arrives to a US port and we can't pay the...

Exactly. I don’t get that argument at all. “But you’ll never be as good as X!” That’s so beside the point as to be in a different zip code. I love Star Wars so I want to play RPGs set in Star Wars. I don’t care about comparing myself or my table to George or any of the writers over the...

Wasn’t the comic book Robin/Nightwing also in college at the time? No one suggested otherwise.

It takes all kinds. Besides a few comic stories and epic runs, I’d say Batman TAS defined the character for at least a generation if not two.

It’s in the AD&D DMG. It’s where the idea of time passing at real-world speed between sessions comes from. And this is exactly why. To make keeping track of things that much easier. Group A played last Tuesday and cleared this dungeon to room 114. Group B plays tonight and is hitting the same...

Finished Soon I Will Be Invincible tonight. The second half wasn't quite as good as the first half. The constant flashbacks began to grate and gave the narrative a choppy quality. It was good. I'm glad I read it. I guessed about half of the twists. It was nice to be right but it was better to be...

The PDF is 222 pages long, including front and back covers. The mechanics, GM advice, and character creation are the first almost half of the book coming in at about 90 pages. There's about 60 pages of guide to Ankh-Morpork, people, factions, locations, etc. There's also 55 pages of adventures...

If you want it you should jump on it. WotC took down the POD options for Planescape and Spelljammer when they released the 5E versions. Took a few months to get back up from what I remember.
